That might be helpful actually. I'm currently using a screw jammed in the servo horn until I can work out how I want the action to work...

Oh, the electronics side is easy. I'm having trouble figuring out a linkage that works.
I'm trying to convert a toy RC car into a proportional steering using that exact same servo at the moment. It's been challenging!
Every time it comes up I just gotta remind people that it's extremely expensive to license filming in Shibuya, which the team making this game couldn't afford, so they filmed this game by stealing shots and running from the cops.
There's a table somewhere for "normal" resistance per length of spark plug wire. I've used it all of once and then found there was a big hole in the side of the questionable wire while going to ohm it out.
Successfully opened SSH connection to my Linux box from my Panasonic FS-A1 #MSX via #FujiNet. This means network functions are working as expected.
Now our apps can start to be ported.

New blog post! A what-if scenario where we try to see how a home computer designer might've dealt with the field-sequential color television, had the Korean War not stopped that standards' rollout. Enjoy! nicole.express/2026/the-app...
What are you doing for text compression?
I can't play it well, but I love everything Artdink makes. I'm not sure what else they did for FMT.
I've always wanted an A/ROSE card just for general purpose computing and playing with. It's such an interesting concept
The title screen for the FM TOWNS version of A-Train III.
I just got mine working finally. No keyboard or mouse, but I'll get there. It's a very neat machine with lots of secrets yet to uncover.
I wouldn't say "active," since mine still doesn't work...
PCE mouse would probably give me a reason to finish fixing my Duo so I could play A-Train...
I am hesitantly moving from skepticism to figuring out how to afford a PS5
In your professional opinion, is it museum grade?
We had one but the rest of them were almost all Apple II.
if you're buying numarathon it's incredibly important that you fully internalize the timeline you can't even leave the tutorial if you don't understand this
Needs new caps
Essential.
Thanks! Tandy used the name fairly irresponsibly - it covers everything from the 6809-based CoCo to the 68000-based XENIX machines, with lots of toy computers and glorified calculators in between. I'm sure it caused lots of headaches at the stores when people were trying to get software...
New blog post! This TRS-80 Model 1 was found in the bottom of a trash bin, smashed to bits by heavy printers and cash registers above it. Will it ever run again?

I don't know anything about telecom, but that does seem odd to me too. Perhaps it just doesn't work :)
Holy crap, this is awesome!
My weird looking thumb is pushing up the door on the jacks
I opened the flap, if that counts. I also wonder how often it gets used.
A Japanese pay phone with ISDN jacks in the lower right.
They still have them! This was from a few weeks ago.
As it’s now left the festival circuit our last short Everything Must Go is now available

This looks like a really fun card (and machine.) I do have a Macsbug book here but I don't think it ever went into video card stuff.
If memory serves you can also do Macsbug over serial in a pinch. What's the card?
Thanks! It was suggested that the epoxy is definitely for temperature compensation but it was the first time I'd ever seen something like it in a power supply. I gotta build an analogue synth so I can learn more about fun analogue stuff!
If a little cap makes the power filter good, then big cap make power filter even gooder!
